ITEM:

Discussion and possible directions to staff on any and all matters regarding the purchase of a Vapex Environmental Technologies, Odor Control Unit for Merrill Lift Station. (Manuel Rojas, Assistant Director of Public Works)

SUMMARY:

A Fiscal Year 2018 purchase, staff has continued to research on various options to mitigate odor control on the sewer lift stations and collection system.  Staff has used biological enzyme treatment, ozone technology and currently scheduled an air system pilot test to control odor in Wastewater System.  Merrill Lift Station was recently upgraded, using a corrosive resistant material, as specified by Vapex Environmental Technologies System.  Staff has recorded successful installations of subject odor control unit at Juan Sanchez Lift Station and Lift Station 300.  The installation of a new Vapex System would minimize odor issue, enhancing our customer service delivery to residents in the area.    Staff recommends the purchase of a Vapex Enviromental Technologies, Nano System for Merrill Lift Station and to waive formal purchasing procedures under these circumstances which are allowed under San Luis City Code-Purchasing Section 36.01(H). 

RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:

Discussion and possible directions to staff only, no action.
